Pretty World : Sergio Mendes Brazil 66 1969

Details

Description

‘nothing else to make but breakfast and love’

This kind of music ooozes class and sophistication and a sense of everything is right with the world, meaning it’s intrinsically positive.

This was on the 1969 Album ‘Crystal Illusions’ and the lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman speak of a universal idea of shared love and they’re lyricists of reputation with numerous song writing awards and were responsible for the lyrics to ‘The Way We Were’ as one example.

This kind of uninhibited adult romance and sophistication in music has all but disappeared in contemporary music charts, it’s like the collective soul of the world is on fire, burning negative misery and at times aggressive and agitated posturing and the ‘look at me’ attitude, when did the love of life get substituted for just bling and the stance of cold indifference.

Nearly all top 40 sounds the same these days, there was a time when individualism and different genres of music were appreciated and given the chance of an equal platform to appear on, or am I looking back in rose coloured nostalgic fantasy.

Pretty World subscribes to and delivers a sense of hope and love that could be attainable in anyone’s life, this song thrives and sails on a positive vibe of a shared experience between people, that’s gotta be worth revisiting in these seemingly darker days where future hope seems clouded in uncertainty and fear, hope springs eternal if this song plays in your mind.
